研究開発R&D PARTNER · ARCHITECTURE & ENGINEERING
Your external R&D team, a few days a month.
You have difficult questions somewhere between design, climate and technology, and no one on your team has time to chase them. I investigate, prototype, and show you what is actually worth doing.
Architecture, engineering and multidisciplinary practices of roughly 20 to 500 people, wherever you are: I work on site or online. It fits if at least two of these are true:
You want to use AI, but no one owns it.
Your sustainability or environmental team comes in too late in the design.
Your BIM, digital or computational lead has more ideas than time.
Performance is part of how you win competitions and clients.
You want R&D but can't justify a full-time hire.
We had the intention, but not really a strategy. Someone on the team was asked to train the rest of the company. They weren't an expert themselves, they were buried in deadlines, and nothing moved.

How it works
進め方
Step 1Start here入口
Mapping session
In half a day you'll know which three things are worth automating and which aren't. I sit with your partners and leads, map how the work flows through the practice, and rank where AI, climate analysis or computation would pay off.
A map of your workflows with the pain points marked.
Three to five opportunities, ranked by value and effort.
One chosen to build first.
Next stepContinue to an R&D Kick-off or an agent app within 30 days and the mapping session fee comes off the price.

2R&D Kick-off開始
3 WEEKS · FIXED SCOPE · PRICE ON A CALL
A short, contained start that shows you how I work before you commit to more. It begins with the mapping session.
Day 1
Mapping session with your partners and leads: where you stand on AI, climate and computation, and what frustrates you.
Week 1
Short interviews with the people who do the work. A map of 3–5 workflows with the pain points marked.
Week 2
A quick prototype on the most promising topic: an agent, an automated analysis, a climate check.
Week 3
The prototype, and a 3-month R&D roadmap ranked by value and effort.
3R&D Partnership継続
MONTHLY · ONGOING
We work through the roadmap together, one topic at a time. Each month includes:
One R&D topic investigated or prototyped.
A working session with your team.
A short note or demo of what was learned or built.
Questions by email between sessions.
A quarterly roadmap review with the partners.
※ SCOPETo keep the work focused, I don't do on-call support, production software, or delivery work on live project deadlines. The goal is to find what's worth doing and prove it, then help your team own it.
Running in my own companies
自社
I test everything on my own firms first. These run at Spacio and the other companies I own.
Sales
CRM agent for B2B sales
Keeps the CRM up to date from emails and calls, spots the leads that went quiet, and drafts the follow-up for a person to send.
Every meeting
Meeting notes agent
Turns each meeting into notes, decisions and a task list, filed where the team already works.
Marketing and content system
Five agents, one chain. Each hands its work to the next, and a person approves before anything is published.
